To all Illinoisans, Join the REAL grassroots revolution by volunteering to
help Dennis in Iowa. You will get an ALL EXPENSE PAID trip to Cedar Rapids
and Waterlou, including food, lodging, and transportation in exchange for
your help Jan 17th thru 19th. Dennis Kucinich not only takes NO corporate
money (and never has) he includes a proposal to dismantle corporate media
in his platform of issues. Contrary to conventional wisdom, Dennis has
always run a grassroots campaign. Despite this he has won time and again in
heavily Republican districts when all the pundits told him it couldn't be
done. Not surprisingly, a grassroots campaign needs grassroots help this
weekend. |

NAFTA's first year saw instead the loss of more than a million jobs across Mexico. To attract investment, NAFTA-related reforms required the privatization of factories, railroads, airlines and other large enterprises. This led to huge waves of layoffs. Mexican enterprises and farmers, who couldn't compete with U.S. imports, also shed workers, and the subsequent peso devaluation cost even more jobs. Because unemployment and economic desperation in Mexico increased, immigration to the United States has been the only hope for survival for millions of Mexicans. |
